I think we all wanted Tom to win. Had that 8 foot putt gone in, we would of put this victory among the watershed moments in sport for the last 50 years.
I’m talking Super Bowl 3, or the 1980 Hockey team’s win over the USSR. Those moments that everyone will always remember where they were when.....
But no, it wasn’t to be. It’s really hard to root against Stewart too cause he’s got great game and is a true gentleman on and off the course.
He’s been tweeted I’m sure a lot over the last 3 hours..... And to know his Aunt is a FReeper is even better...
Also please see post 252 above. :)
“I grew up watching Tom Watson play on TV and hoping one day maybe I could follow in his footsteps at the Open Championship. He’s turned back the clock. ... I just feel so happy to be a part of it, let alone win.” — Stewart Cink
“The same Tom Watson that won this tournament in ... ‘77, the same guy showed up here this week. And he just about did it. He beat everybody but one guy. And it was really special.” — Stewart Cink
